After the warm-up match on the field, the score was changed from 0-2 when Fujii came on the court to 4-2, Fujii scored two goals and two assists, and it took only 16 minutes.

Despite the fact that he played in the second half of the warm-up game and took advantage of the physical advantage, it was definitely not something that ordinary players could do to turn the situation around in just a quarter of an hour, and Hidekazu Ohtani, the manager of Kashima Antlers, saw it in his eyes and knew the value of Fujii Tree very well.

"Sorry, let's talk about the contract."

Seeing Fujii Shu coming from the court towards Coach Fukai, Hidekazu Otani hurriedly greeted him and stretched out his hand.

Isn't it all agreed, I and Qiyuan base salary to vote, only take a one-year short-term contract with no strings attached?

Fujii Shu frowned slightly, where did this person pop up? A shrewd and calculating villain.

"I only sign a one-year short contract, if not, Tokyo Green can accept me, I don't care what the salary is."

He bluntly picked it out, Hidekazu Ohtani saw his firm thoughts, and there was not much nonsense at the moment, players of this strength can find their next home casually, and if they don't want to stay for even a year, it's better to be honest.

Subsequently, Coach Fukai took Fujii to visit the base of Kashima Antlers, the club does not provide collective dormitories, but as long as you are a professional player, you have a rental subsidy of 100,000 yen every month, and in a rural place like Ibaraki Prefecture, 100,000 yen can already rent a small house.

"Then, next week's game, please, my side will get the club to include you in the squad as soon as possible."

Coach Fukai sent Fujii to the gate of the base, the two said goodbye, Fujii Shu also had to return to Tokyo, go to the apartment to get some daily necessities, this apartment he also plans to rent for a long time, and then come back to school after a year.

Drive to downtown Tokyo and wait for a long red light at a busy intersection, while a short video is shown on a large screen on the side of the road.

Pedestrians and vehicles stopped to watch the three-minute promotional video, which cost Hideaki Anno nearly 100 million yen, and the sun was just right in the sky at this time, and the light was very abundant.

"And where is my dream?"

The swing swayed back and forth in the twilight, and the boy's voice rang out.

"That's the continuation of reality."

Shi Yu's voice answered the question, colder than ever, like a mechanical synthesized sound.

"And where is my reality?"

The young child looks down at the pyramid of the sand dunes, and the picture is unusually gloomy.

"That's the end of the dream."

Shi Yu's voice is close to Rei Ayana's feeling, and the piano music of One Last Kiss copied by someone in the light music team plays in the background.

A large number of real-life urban buildings move up in front of the camera until they cross the limit and take in the full view of the city of Tokyo.

Dressed in a school outfit, Fujii looked up at the silent city with a confused look in his eyes, holding Sony's cassette Walkman in his hand, the center of the disk slowly turning.

"The first time I went to the Louvre, I didn't feel anything special."

The song is accompanied by a quick flashback of the screen, the gray city, the empty street, and Shinji Ikari, played by Fujii Shu, standing in front of the hallway, glancing at Rei Ayana, the version of Shiyu with short ice blue hair dyed on the surgical cart.

"Because the Mona Lisa belongs to me, I have already met."

The red-eyed girl with a white strap on her forehead looked at the boy in the carriage one second, and the next moment, Shinji Ikari who was riding a huge slender purple-green humanoid creation ascended with the elevator and came to the surface to meet the water angel apostle for the first time.

"The day I first met you, the gears started turning."

A huge monster destroys everything in the city, and Shinji Ikari manipulates the first machine with a short blade in his hand, stabs through the monster's body, and disappears into the sunset.

"I can't stop feeling like I'm going to lose something."

The crystallized Apostle landed along the coast, Rei Ayaami's Unit Zero raised its shield against the beam fired by the Apostle, while Shinji Ikari's First Machine crouched between the hills, holding a giant sniper rifle, aimed at the Apostle.

"It's been a lot of times, though."

Shinji Ikari looked firm and pulled the trigger, and the electricity of the entire Kanto region of the island nation converged in the energy storage device of the sniper rifle, shooting a scorching light.

"Let's have another kiss."

The astonishing energy of light ablated the surrounding air, emitting a dazzling glow that made its way through the complex and hit the core of the Apostle.

"Can you give me one last kiss?"

"I don't want to forget something."

The Apostle exploded to pieces, and Rei Ayana's Zero machine fell, and the plug ejected her body and landed on the ground, instantly emitting high-temperature steam.

"Things you don't want to forget."

Shinji Ikari put his hands on the hatch with the bolt inserted, and unaware of the burns in his palms, gritted his teeth and opened the twisted hatch.

"I love you more than you think."

The three-nil girl inserted in the bolt looked at her rescuer in front of the camera and smiled.

Next is the past of Asuka and Shinji Ikari played by Akane Tsukiike. (Because it was skipped, the incense party was furious!) )

Finally, under the blue sky, in the ruins, in front of the piano, Shinji Ikari plays the piano in the picture.

"Do you remember chasing the wind, that sunny afternoon?"

The other pair of hands put on the black and white piano keys, and beside Shinji Ikari, there was a silver-haired and red-eyed boy Kaoru Nagisa.

Two teenagers with different temperaments and styles, one introverted and innocent, the other gentle as water, sat side by side in front of the old piano, playing the keys with four hands.

Fujii Tree admires the picture on the screen, this shot of two of himself appearing at the same time, the long shot is a special effect, and the close view is actually split from the middle, which is essentially a video that has been shot twice and put together.

In this performance, Hikaru Utada's beautiful world prelude is inserted, and the scene ends with two teenagers looking at each other.

As soon as the screen goes black, a list of traditional production credits emerges, and finally, the name of the next animated theatrical version, the end.

It means the end of the beginning, and the story that continues from the old century to the new century will draw an imperfect, but excusable end.

The red light turned green half a minute earlier, and the bustling streets were full of vehicles again.

"God!"

"Is the next installment of EVA a live-action? Are these people in the trailer starring? ”

"I checked it just now, the protagonists in this short film are all members of a band called the Light Music Team, and their appearance is too high."

The Internet is refreshing today's evaluation of the EVA new theatrical version of the final real person promotional video, and some people care about the accompaniment One Last Kiss in the short film, saying that the style is very similar to Hikaru Utada, but the voice of Shi Yu singing has a different flavor.

In the previously dimly lit room, the window was opened, and Nagara Aikawa's daughter pressed the play button on the Sony Walkman while watching EVA's live-action promotional video.

The tape is Hikaru Utada's Beautiful world, and she listened carefully to the whole song and watched this short film of more than three minutes.

If only the members of the light music group could appear in the live-action version of EVA.

The girl thought to herself, and pressed the replay button again, and the tape began to spin again.

Time turned, and it was July 25.

Tokyo Ajinomoto Gymnasium, J1 League 21st round, Kashima Antlers vs. FC Tokyo.

Ajinomoto is the home of FC Tokyo, and the contract was terminated by the club due to illness, and FC Tokyo at this time is actually weaker than the last time against Kashima Antlers, and the league ranking is only seventh, which is an upper-average result.

"Are you ready?"

Coach Fukai asked him before he came on the court, feeling even more nervous than himself.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Fujii smiled slightly, and came on the stage amid a full body of boos, and he wanted to make these opponent fans completely break the defense after 90 minutes.

"Now it's Kashima Antlers' last player, No. 13 Fujii Tree."

The on-site commentary reported his simple information, and FC Tokyo fans who watched the game in Tokyo naturally felt no stranger to the new player, and Fujii even went to the scene to support him when he played high school football.

"Didn't that Fujii-kun go to a band? Some time ago, I also made a short film of EVA. ”

"Don't panic, high school games and the J1 league are not difficult, and killing among student players is not the same as being able to perform well in professional games."

"You're right, but he's Fujii! Fujii Shu, who can win the championship in any sport. ”

There weren't many fans in the stands who booed Fujii Tree, a 'local' in their eyes, although some people who knew that Fujii was actually only his mother's hometown in Hachioji City, Tokyo, but he also obtained a valuable free spray right with his previous performance and outstanding appearance.

After getting Fujii Tree, Kashima Antlers still use the 4141 formation, FC Tokyo continues to use the 442 formation, winger Shogo Fukuda, center Kensuke Nagai, the new center forward replaced Suhara's position, and his performance in recent games has been good, scoring about 0.7 goals per game.

Kashima Antlers' original back Takeshi Shibasaki moved forward, allowing Fujii to start the back midfield, and as for the striker, it was still the Brazilian foreign player Stum who was defeated by Fujii Shu.

With a whistle, the ball flew off the grass and into the blue sky.

——

Fifteen years later, Otaru City, Hokkaido, a small coastal town.

An elephant is painted on the white wall of one of them, and a six- or seven-year-old girl with a double ear tail is squatting in the yard to pile sand dunes, her appearance is somewhat similar to someone, but her expression has been cold, very proud, and like a childhood copy of a certain eldest lady.

"Sakura, it's time to come back for dinner."

The door of the house was opened, and Rin Kamiya, who was dressed at home, was in her thirties, with a one-sided ponytail that was easy for housewives to take care of, and her upper body leaned out of the window wearing a cartoon apron, reminding her young daughter.

"Oh, Daddy's coming back."

The young girl named Sakura put down a yellow plastic shovel, washed her hands in front of the faucet in the yard, and pushed the door through the door of a house.

This building covers an area of only about 100 square meters, and the structure is not complicated, Sakura changed his indoor shoes in the hallway, and passed in front of a photo on the wall.

These photos show Fujii Tree's first professional soccer match, with Goko celebrating and being tossed high by his excited teammates.

Arisuhara joined Kashima Kashima after recovering from injury, and hugged Fujii after an undefeated match in the remaining fourteen rounds of 2015.

At the end of the year, a farewell bow to the reluctant fans.

After returning to Waseda, he rejoined the opera club and performed more than 20 consecutive performances with his 'senior sister' Rin Kamiya.

There was a gathering of the members of the light band when the band was disbanded.

There are stills from many movies and TV series after graduating from college until the age of twenty-eight, from a teenager to a high school student all the way to the image of a middle-aged decadent uncle.

There are live photos of the white dress and wedding dress when he married Rin Kamiya, and Shi Yu is missing from the crowd in the background of the picture.

The latest one is a happy family photo last year with Sakura, who was five years old at the time, piling a castle by the sea.

Her tiny head passes by the photo, and the setting sun casts golden colors from the window, dragging her shadow against the wall.

On the other hand, a small seafood company located in Otaru's port bought a three-story building to serve as the company's office building.

Fujii in the president's office raised his hand to look at his watch, the time was already 4:20 in the afternoon, the company he opened, the end of work is half past four, Monday to Friday at 9 o'clock every day, with a two-hour break at noon.

This kind of salted fish system, the natural work efficiency will not be too high, so there will still be people working overtime, he is not short of money when he opens a club, he just wants to find something to do, and he no longer cares whether the employees who work overtime at night are mixed wages.

"Everyone has worked hard, go back early, today is the Qixi Festival."

Walking out of the office with an empty briefcase, and a rare reminder to the more than 20 employees at the workstation, Fujii walked out of the company.

"I envy the president's wife! Go home on time every day, don't smoke, look handsome, and used to be a celebrity, it doesn't matter if you have more money or less. ”

A young female member at the workstation watched Fujii's back disappear, and the tall Fujii tree was almost not much different from more than ten years, but after putting on the suit, the outfit looked more mature.

"I heard that the president's wife used to be the eldest lady of a big family, so we ordinary citizens don't think about it so much."

The female colleague next to her closed the computer and prepared to leave work, and the female member also closed the screen of the laptop.

And Fujii Shu, who was sitting in the car, vibrated his mobile phone, and after opening it and looking at it, he frowned.

He drove the car to the beach and first called Rin Kamiya.

"Hey, it's me, there's something wrong somewhere, I'm going to deal with it now, you guys eat first, don't wait for me."

After the call, Fujii took off his suit, wore only a shirt and shorts, and plunged headlong into the sea.

A moment later, a long dark shadow appeared in the depths of the sea, speeding into the distance.

It was raining outside the window, and Rin Kamiya, who was dining with her daughter, looked at the maple tree in the garden, which was planted when her daughter was born, and now that it has grown, what will it look like in ten years?

……

There is a story about the Fujii tree, which ends here. (The next book is also about Tokyo, learn from the experience of this book, and will only focus on sports and entertainment circles, scheduled to be released on the 15th of next month, if you want to see it, you can pay attention to it.) )
